Blake Draeger is recovering at the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison.

He was struck June 26 as he rode his dirt bike in a field in the Town of Rib Falls. The lightning ruptured his eardrums, scratched the lenses of his eyeballs and left more than a quarter of his body covered with second-degree burns.

The boy's father, Chris Draeger, said the medical team doesn't predict any permanent damage to Blake's ears or eyes.
